You're not a bad drummer and are easily the most interesting player out of anyone in the band imo (though it's hard to judge because you're playing covers).
Need to get some better-sounding cymbals, though (unless that's just the video quality... though the drums themselves sound good).

Yeah, that's probably why; it's just the everything else sounds really good, so I wasn't sure.

He sure is the one to get the most attention from the viewer. That's because he is the only one who is actually moving. The others are just boring to watch imo.

I don't mean visually interesting. >_> Who cares how a garage band looks?

Plenty of other musicians who have seen us play usually say that I'm the most active in the group. Now that I think about it, no one else has ever moved around but me....and i'm sitting down.

Yeah, I mean, if I'm going to a KISS or Daft Punk concert, then that's pretty much all about their looks and the show they put on (same with, say, the Blue Man Group, though their music is also a huge draw), but with a standard garage rock band that looks exactly like every other standard garage rock band, looks don't matter a bit.

Again, I don't mean you're the most visually interesting-- I don't give a flying flickerbat about how much you move or how you look.

The singer's voice gets extremely annoying after a short bit. But I agree, you (the drummer) are the most interesting aspect of the band. No one wants to watch a statue play guitar

It was all ok, but everyone except the drummer seemed like statues to be honest. The bass player was pretty good also in my opinion.

Thanks for all the positive feedback! It's nice knowing that you guys think I'm a good drummer.

Unfortunately, the band has fallen apart. We all sort of lost interest and so far me and the bass player are the only ones who still talk. We were thinking of getting this kid who's a year younger than us that could easily be the next Zack Wylde, but we haven't been able to contact him.

Also, a band by the name of 6 Car Pile Up recently lost their drummer, so I've been playing with them for a while now. So far the songs we have learned are:

The Pretender - Foo Fighters
Couldn't Stand the Weather - SRV
Voices - Saosin (This ones sucks hard!!!)

That's pretty cool that you're out there doing gigs and such. Just wondering, where are you from?
